A special Linkspam post

[linkspam_mod]

deepad's post I Didn't Dream of Dragons has been nominated for a BSFA award in the non-fiction category.

Hal Duncan also had a piece nominated for this category. However, as a result of Deepa's piece being nominated, he declined his nomination because he thinks her piece is far more relevant and important to the SFF genre.

All of us at linkspam would like to offer our congratulations to deepad and to Hal Duncan as well.
